9But they will be servants to the Lord their God and to David their king, whom I will give back to them.
10So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.
11For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.
12For the Lord has said, Your disease may not be made well and your wound is bitter.
13There is no help for your wound, there is nothing to make you well.
14Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;
15Why are you crying for help because of your wound? for your pain may never be taken away: because your evil-doing was so great and because your sins were increased, I have done these things to you.
